Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

   - Initial implementation of the state machine

   - Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
     not on some random processor

   - Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

   - Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
 "What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

   - Asymmetry

     The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
     teardown.  This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

   - Largely undocumented dependencies

     While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
     we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
     express dependencies without any documentation why.

   - Control processor driven

     Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
     processor.  While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
     like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
     of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
     there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
     processor.  Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

       bring the rest up

   - All or nothing approach

     There is no way to do partial bringups.  That's something which is
     really desired because we waste e.g.  at boot substantial amount of
     time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life.  That's stupid
     as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
     other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
     synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

   - Minimal debuggability

     Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
     two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
     the correctness.  So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
     mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

   - Notifier [un]registering is tedious

     To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
     every callsite.  There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
     callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
     do it itself.  That also includes error rollback.

  What's the new design?

     The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
     the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
     defined set of states.  Each state is symmetric in the end, except
     for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
     stopped and reversed at almost all states.

     So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu

                                       bring itself up

     The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
     That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
     other mechanism.

     The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
     up and brings itself down.  Cleanups which need to be done after
     the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

  There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
  cpu is available.  Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
  out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

  The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
  threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
  cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
  general workloads can be scheduled on it.  The reverse happens on
  teardown.  First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
  workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
  off completely.

  This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
  core level.  This includes the following:

   - Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
     ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

   - Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

     This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
     the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
     the state machine array.

     For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
     a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
     explicit hotplug state.

     If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
     previous state.

   - Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

     This is only partially functional today.  Full functionality and
     therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
     existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

   - Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
     processor:

       Control CPU                     Booting CPU

       do preparatory steps
       kick cpu into life

                                       do low level init

       sync with booting cpu           sync with control cpu
       wait for boot
                                       bring itself up

                                       Signal completion to control cpu

     In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
     conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme.  The balance
     is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

     This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
     different approach.  Instead of mechanically converting everything
     over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
     they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

     I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
     converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
     completely buggered anyway.  So there is no point to do a
     mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
     sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
     testable behaviour"

   - Rewrite, refactor and fix the Intel RAPL PMU code (Thomas Gleixner)

   - Various fixes and smaller cleanups.

  There are lots of perf tooling updates as well.  A few highlights:

  perf report/top:

     - Hierarchy histogram mode for 'perf top' and 'perf report',
       showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry: (Namhyung Kim)

       On a mostly idle system:

         # perf top --hierarchy -s comm,dso

       Then expand some levels and use 'P' to take a snapshot:

         # cat perf.hist.0
         -  92.32%         perf
               58.20%         perf
               22.29%         libc-2.22.so
                5.97%         [kernel]
                4.18%         libelf-0.165.so
                1.69%         [unknown]
         -   4.71%         qemu-system-x86
                3.10%         [kernel]
                1.60%         qemu-system-x86_64 (deleted)
         +   2.97%         swapper
         #

     - Add 'L' hotkey to dynamicly set the percent threshold for
       histogram entries and callchains, i.e.  dynamicly do what the
       --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does.
       (Namhyung Kim)

  perf mem:

     - Allow specifying events via -e in 'perf mem record', also listing
       what events can be specified via 'perf mem record -e list' (Jiri
       Olsa)

  perf record:

     - Add 'perf record' --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one
       can tell that all the events in the command line should be
       restricted to the user or kernel levels (Jiri Olsa), i.e.:

         perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u

       is equivalent to:

         perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions

     - Make 'perf record' collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header:

         $ perf record usleep 1
         [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
         [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
         $ perf report --header-only -I | tail -10 | head -8
         # CPU cache info:
         #  L1 Data                 32K [0-1]
         #  L1 Instruction          32K [0-1]
         #  L1 Data                 32K [2-3]
         #  L1 Instruction          32K [2-3]
         #  L2 Unified             256K [0-1]
         #  L2 Unified             256K [2-3]
         #  L3 Unified            4096K [0-3]

       Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to
       allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple
       machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference.
       (Jiri Olsa)

     - Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do
       jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized
       PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via 'perf inject' pointed to synthesized
       ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow
       symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info, see
       the changeset comments to see how to use it (Stephane Eranian)

  perf script/trace:

     - Decode data_src values (e.g.  perf.data files generated by 'perf
       mem record') in 'perf script': (Jiri Olsa)

         # perf script
           perf 693 [1] 4.088652: 1 cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: ffff88007d0b0f40 68100142 L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No <SNIP>
                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     - Improve support to 'data_src', 'weight' and 'addr' fields in
       'perf script' (Jiri Olsa)

     - Handle empty print fmts in 'perf script -s' i.e. when running
       python or perl scripts (Taeung Song)

  perf stat:

     - 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
       interval mode too.  E.g:

         # perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
         #         time   counts unit events
            1.000215928  519,620      instructions     #  0.69 insn per cycle
            1.000215928  752,003      cycles
         <SNIP>

     - Port 'perf kvm stat' to PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)

     - Implement CSV metrics output in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

  perf BPF support:

     - Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)

     - Print bpf-output events in 'perf script': (Wang Nan).

         # perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output_3.c/map:channel.event=evt/ usleep 1000
         # perf script
            usleep  4882 21384.532523:   evt:  ffffffff810e97d1 sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
             BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                         0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                         0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
             BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
         #

     - Add API to set values of map entries in a BPF object, be it
       individual map slots or ranges (Wang Nan)

     - Introduce support for the 'bpf-output' event (Wang Nan)

     - Add glue to read perf events in a BPF program (Wang Nan)

     - Improve support for bpf-output events in 'perf trace' (Wang Nan)

Pull read-only kernel memory updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds two (security related) enhancements to the kernel's
  handling of read-only kernel memory:

   - extend read-only kernel memory to a new class of formerly writable
     kernel data: 'post-init read-only memory' via the __ro_after_init
     attribute, and mark the ARM and x86 vDSO as such read-only memory.

     This kind of attribute can be used for data that requires a once
     per bootup initialization sequence, but is otherwise never modified
     after that point.

     This feature was based on the work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.

     (by Kees Cook, the ARM vDSO bits by David Brown.)

   - make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA always enabled on x86 and remove the
     Kconfig option.  This simplifies the kernel and also signals that
     read-only memory is the default model and a first-class citizen.

* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus:
  MIPS: smp.c: Fix uninitialised temp_foreign_map
  MIPS: Fix build error when SMP is used without GIC
  ld-version: Fix awk regex compile failure
  MIPS: Fix build with DEBUG_ZBOOT and MACH_JZ4780

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.

Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also
selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some
functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like
plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when
MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP.
The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by
some #ifdefs

The first part of this was introduced in commit 72e20142 ("MIPS:
Move GIC IPI functions out of smp-cmp.c")

The ld-version.sh script fails on some versions of awk with the
following error, resulting in build failures for MIPS:

awk: scripts/ld-version.sh: line 4: regular expression compile failed (missing '(')

This is due to the regular expression ".*)", meant to strip off the
beginning of the ld version string up to the close bracket, however
brackets have a meaning in regular expressions, so lets escape it so
that awk doesn't expect a corresponding open bracket.

Ingenic SoC declares ZBOOT support, but debug definitions are missing
for MACH_JZ4780 resulting in a build failure when DEBUG_ZBOOT is set.
The UART addresses are same as with JZ4740, so fix by covering JZ4780
with those as well.
